(Cl.131--3) I g Claims.

Tobacco cartridges, adapted for insertion into a pipe bowl, are well known, but they have not come into general use, on account of the cost 01 manufacture incident to the provision of a proper container. In order to remedy that difliculty, recourse is had in the present invention, to asimple inverted sack. Since the sack is inverted, a means must be provided for closing the lower end of it and'that means, in the present invention, is a ventilating disk, novel means being supplied for holding the disk assembled with the sack.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices 01' that type to which the present invention appertains.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the cartridge;

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the cartridge;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through a pipe bowl, with'the cartridge therein;

Fig. 4 is a side view of the ventilating disk;

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the ventilating disk.

In carrying out the invention, there is provided a smoking-pipe cartridge, including a container in the form of a flexible, inverted, one-piece sack I, which may be made of tobaccobrown, specially-prepared paper.

A ventilating disk 2 is located in the lower end portion or the sack I, and may be formed from absorbent material, of which chalk is mentioned merely as an illustrative example.

4. A smoking-pipe cartridge constructed as set forth in claim 1, and wherein the disk is of smaller diameter than the sack, to effect a tapering of the lower part of the cartridge, to facilitate the insertion of the cartridge into a pipe bowl.

5. A smoking-pipe cartridge comprising a tion of a binder 8, preferably a resilient metal smaller diameter than the sack I, to eii'ect a container in the form of an inverted, flexible, one-piece sack, a ventilating disk, and means ior h'ol'ding the ventilating disk assembled with the lower end portion of the sack, and smokingmaterial in the sack.
